"Regular" wood is already good enough https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascent_MKE

It's hardly "regular wood" though, as the structure mentioned was constructed using a specific kind of engineered compressed wood:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/InventWood

> In 2018, [Liangbing] Hu's laboratory reported that partially removing lignin from natural wood and then compressing the remaining cellulose under heat produced a material roughly three times denser than the original timber and an order of magnitude stronger in bending and tension.[2] The material was commercially named Superwood.

It's just a link to a blogpost, like all the other links on HN. None are treated any special way. Why would content that was on lobsters first be treated differently.

The mismatch seems to stem from the fact that generated comments are against HN guidelines, but automated posts are tolerated by mods, which seems somewhat reasonable on its face, but has failure modes when OPs' own posts, even when they post first, are scooped by bots.

Found this similar to ending of Parthenon. Show on netflix. The ending does something similar. Worth watching, the last 2-3 episodes really ramp up to 11.

Also. "The Last Question" by Isaac Asimov.

I really thought there was going to be a 'let there be light' moment at the end.

The title is Pantheon, and the show is itself based upon a series of short stories in a shared universe by Ken Liu.

I wish one of these devices would have an internal battery again like the old HooToo Tripmates. Using it with a power bank doesn't feel quite the same.
